DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention consists in the association of simple concepts but that generate a product that has a specific utility as an applicator of liquid creams and gels.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the container (1) with lid (not shown) containing the liquid for body wrapping, presents essential parts such as a threaded neck (2) which houses a lid that prevents spillage of the substance contained therein, said threaded neck limits a cylindrical conduit by means of which the container is filled with the body seam that is applied with the device of the present invention. The container has a substantially rectangular body with rounded edges, defines a shoulder area, a waist (6) and a skirt (5) at the lower end of the front face having a housing cavity (7) proximate to a flat base, in correspondence with an internal space (4) substantially elliptical in whose interior houses a nip roll (not shown), finally a lower flat area or base (3) with edge brows. In use the container filled with a liquid ointment is covered and with the roller inside the housing (7) said liquid is distributed throughout the body, action performed by the user without requiring help to perform the aforementioned operation.

Figure 2 shows the package (1) of figure 1 in a side view having the characteristic of a thick upper body (20) or section of shoulders and a narrow base that allows the bulge generated by a roller located in the cavity of accommodation (7) thereof, the substantially rectangular cavity in horizontal position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the container, the flat base (3) allows the erect position of the container on a flat surface, the thinning is due to the inclination of the lower section (21) of the face Subsequent for a better adaptation to the palm of the user's hand in the event of the untreation of the product located inside the container that once empty is filled through the upper mouth with external face (2) threaded for the location of a lid (not shown).

Figure 3 is a front view of the container (1) to specify mainly the housing cavity (7) and its interior (4) where the dosing roller is housed, said cavity semi-elliptical shape with two curved lateral edges of housing (7 a) and two straight edges, upper and lower (7 b) that lodge tightly where a rotating roller is housed that in its own movement doses (smears) the liquid contained inside the container (1) substantially rectangular in the upright position; the shape of the housing is similar to that of the cylindrical central body roller and semi-spherical ends that inside the cavity allow the rotation thereof, in this way the liquid contained in the container permeates the cylindrical body of the roller and in turn, this unites on the surface of the skin of the area where it is made passing over the body of the user, the shape of the package has a wide upper and lower section and in the middle thereof a narrow waist-like section followed by a skirt (5) surrounding the section of the packaging of the present invention.

Figure 4 represents a front view of the semi-elliptical coupling ring-retainer (60) with a flexible body with a ribbed cross-section, with convex concavity on the outside and a concave concavity on the inside thereof, that is: The cross section has a ribbed shape with flexible sides so that it fits tightly on the edge of the receiving cavity at the outer edge and the inner edge engages the body of the dosing roller, the side edges (40a and 40b) allow the rotation of the dosing roller and in this way the straight face of the cylindrical section thereof is impregnated which slides on the inner edge of the straight section (41). The inner edge of the ring keeps the dosing roller inside the housing cavity.

Figure 5 is a side view of the coupling ring-retainer showing the grooved hollow section of the interior thereof, the concave inner section (50) is indicated, the internal edge of which slightly inclined retains inside the housing cavity the metering roller, the retaining ring or retainer of the present figure has its corresponding straight sections (41) and the lateral edges, right (40 a) and left (40 b), note the semi-elliptical shape thereof that allows the attachment of a roller Internal with straight cylindrical body and ends Semi-spherical ones that allow the rotation thereof within the housing cavity of the container of the present invention.

Figure 6 presents a perspective view of the ring-retainer (60) coupling with the cylindrical body of the spreader, is the convex external view showing details of the curved ends (40 a and 40 b), also includes the upper straight sections and lower (41).

Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the squeezing roller (70), detailing the external surfaces thereof, the cylindrical straight section (71) that greases the cream or gel containing the container, the hemispherical end sections ( 72 a and 72 b) allow the rotation of the roller inside the cavity of the container container, the rotation of the roller makes possible the dosing and sealing of the liquid or viscous product that contains the container, in the preferred embodiment of the invention the content is liquid cream , gel, coconut, almond, castor oil, etc. The lines (73 and 74) denote the boundary between the curved rolling surfaces and the straight seam surface for the squeezing or dispensing roller of the present invention.

Figure 8 is a side view of the dosing roller showing the profile of the curved end surfaces (72 a and 72 b), the boundary lines (73 and 74) that delimit the straight surface of the seam (71) of the same.

Figure 9 is a perspective view of the protective arm-cover (90) of the dosing roller, is a casing type apron with open chest (95) which is an opening limited by two lateral clamping pins (97 and 98), the open section (95) allows the free passage of the neck of the container of the present invention, with the so that the protection arm-cap can rotate on the shoulders of the body of the container, is held to the mimes by means of a fastening flange (91, 92) located on the upper ends of each the lateral pins (97 and 92). 98), the tabs are fastened on the sides of the shoulder section and function as pivot points for the arm-cap which in the full deployment position becomes an extension arm of the container which allows to reach difficult areas of the body as it is the back of the user, even some others for disabled people that due to their condition is impossible to reach. The protection arm-cap (90) has two upper pins (97 and 98), which in turn each have a flange (91 and 92) for coupling on the shoulders of the container, the pins define an intermediate free space ( 95) that allows free passage of the neck and lid of the container, the arm-lid is convex front section (96) and in its middle section has a groove of geometric shape (94) for fingers, ie, with a plurality of forms that allow the introduction of the fingers for fastening the complete device in use of the cream or low viscosity liquid that is used for the personal care of the user, in the lower end section it has a horizontal semi-cylindrical geometric protrusion or casing ( 93) in relation to the length of the arm-cover that covers the dosing roller or spreader when the device is not in use, the arm-lid as an additional element to the container is located on the front face of the container. In full deployment position the arm-cover becomes an extension of the container above the lid of the same, something like the relationship between a knife and its cover, the knife is inside the cover, in the same way the container it remains inside the arm-cover, more specifically, the arm-cover covers the front face of the container.

Figure 10, in side view shows details of the arm-cap of the present invention, such as the position of the clamping flange (91) and the lower edge (101) that limits the extension of the arm-cap and the housing or protrusion ( 93), the convexity (96) of the front face and the orientation of the pin (97).

Figure 11 is a front approach of the arm-cap in which an intermediate waist (110) and a lower skirt (111) that protects the protuberance or housing (93), the lower end is bounded by the edge ( 101), the location of the groove (94) and the free space (95) bounded laterally by the pegs (97 and 98) with a convexity (96) imperceptible because it is a front view is shown in greater detail.
